I wonder if any people now think, "Oh well, no reason to bother to come up with info for a measly 20 000, I'll consider it when it hits six figures."
ITA with this statement.
PK mentioning that the reward could go higher and then estimating a sum was by far one of the dumbest things that could have been said at this point. The purpose of the reward is to get people to come forward with information now. Not sit around to wait and see if the amount gets higher. We're not playing the stock market here, we're looking for information about a missing girl!
This reminds me about all the fuss over the reward amount the first week that Hailey's information made it to MSM. I think I remember at some point the reports in the media about the reward reaching as high as 25K for it to be changed back to 8 or 10K within a day or so with the explanation of the funds (up to 25K) were only promised and shouldn't be included. Then no more mention of those "promised" funds.
Statements like this, imo, hinder an investigation. Report what you have and what you know. Don't speculate!
